Not every cute small animal loves to be tickled, but this one is seems to be rubbing his hands together at the very thought of it! We are not sure if he is a hamster or a mouse, or some other dear little creature, do you know?

This collection of cute dormouse pictures shows one of the main activities of these little guys – sleeping! Dormice are known for their long periods of hibernation. They also have dear furry tails rather than the scaly tails of mice. All these pictures are of the Hazel Dormouse. He is the only species of dormouse that is native to the British Isles, and although there is great variety in the dormouse family (dormice can be found across Europe, in Africa and parts of Asia as well) the Hazel Dormouse is the most photographed! Sleep well cutie.

It’s part of a decision to be a nice gerbil. You should.” said Gerbil One. “So Bossy!!!” cried Gerbil Two, “You just don’t understand.” “I think all this arguing is a result of me forcing your noses too close together” said Large Overarching Human. “Yes!!” cried both gerbils together!

[we are guessing these are gerbils but we are also guessing we are wrong, please let us know!!]
